In this episode, we’re joined by AJ Bubb, fractional product and innovation leader, former CTO of Lion Rocket Entertainment, and experienced real estate investor—to explore what it takes to invest and build with confidence during challenging market conditions.

AJ shares:

• How he live-streamed a 25,000-person NASA event from a remote airfield—and what it taught him about innovation under pressure
• His transition from tech to active real estate investing, and why he prefers profitable assets over fixer-uppers
• Advice for entrepreneurs managing post-exit wealth, including developing a personal investment philosophy
• The importance of having a trusted, local network when investing in out-of-state markets
• Why rapid but calculated decisions—and clarity on risk tolerance—are crucial for wealth preservation and growth

“Have a playbook, know your edges, and don’t chase deals that don’t match your risk profile.”

This episode is a must-listen for business owners, founders, and investors who want to level up their thinking around wealth, risk, and execution—especially in volatile times.
